What organ(s)/tissue(s) would you expect to find sinusoid capillary beds in: skeletal muscle, hypothalamus, liver, spleen? Why? What percentage of blood does the venous system contain at any given time? Besides returning venous blood to the heart, what role do the large veins play in the function of the cardiovascular system? What will venoconstriction do to venous capacitance and venous return? What will venodilation do to venous capacitance and venous return?
